Cover: To study the expressional profile of versican, one of the major extracellular proteoglycans, at different developmental stages of oligodendrocytes, an in vitro model was established, which could mimic the environment of oligodendrogliogenesis in vivo and generate A2B5+ OPCs, O4+ pre-oligodendrocytes, O1+ immature oligodendrocytes and MBP+ mature oligodendrocytes over time. The cover picture showed a highly branched immature oligodendrocyte double stained with O1 (red) and versican (green) (page 1519-1530).
